Aerois Synergy?

[SotF]

I've gotten a bit of it with things, but I'm not really sure how to get the stacks for the weekly, any suggestions for a setup for it?

There are a few strategies on the reddit thread

Basically you need to put in the 5 champions. Level just to unlock synergy. Let them get to their soft wall at their lower level. Bump a few levels before they stop. Repeat. Trick is to gain as much synergy before completing the level. This one will require some babysitting to do the incremental wall push.

In short, remember that you lose stacks as you progress through levels. So you build up on one level, then bump just enough to advance to the next and build up on that level, etc.

Oh, that doesn't seem to be very fun. I'm probably going to skip doing this one then...

[After checking my current quests...]

It seems that while doing the 5 times at area 201+ event offline last night, it also completed that synergy quest for me. I had a setup with familiars on all 5 of the Aerois champions.

Oh well... But if I had to do this manually I would probably have skipped it.

[Daggot]

I did the manual method. What a pain.

[LostSoul]

Yeah, it's tedious, with no 'optimal' method that works well.

So, if I am understanding this right you just need to babysit your Aerois team? Can you just leave your team stalled in an area and gain the stacks that way or do you need to actively be progressing levels?

I'm not sure, I managed to get it finished over a few long runs, but not entirely sure how it worked.

I do know that Lucius' ability is very helpful for it with the +100% bonus it has

It's possible to gain some levels if you run the party into the wall in offline mode.

Yes. Turn off auto-progress and open Nova's 'formation buffs' info (because Nova has Aerois synergy at the top of the list of 'outgoing' buffs). Only advance areas once the combined stack total reaches 500. If you have all Aerois 5 champions present, that should take about ~30 seconds or so per area. It is best if this is done without click damage high enough to kill anything (that impedes stack growth). Or you could swap click-damage familiars in and out and have firebreath potions do the heavy lifting.

No, I believe you stop gaining stacks once the level requirement is met. The idea I used was to get to your wall (remove your core) and just teeter at your wall where it's taking a little while to end the area. Just keep upgrading enough so they can clear the level, but not clear it too fast. This quest is not one you can set it and forget it. Going to have to babysit it in one form or fashion.

[kab_reg]

In theory, it is possible to clear it in background mode without babysitting, but it will be very slow anyway.

I've gotten it to 84 so far without any manual fiddling. Just running adventures with an Aerois formation (which, granted, I would not otherwise use). There's two more weeks to complete the quest so it should easily get finished.

I was away on wednesday & thursday and I didn't even see the quest, my party must have done all of it offline. I was only aware of the quest existence because of that topic.
